Institutional redemptions accelerate as block trades trigger outflows

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), traded on NASDAQ and related to BLK, was impacted by a series of large outflows and block trades between May 14 and May 27, 2026. On May 26, a 29-million share IBIT block worth about $1.29 billion was traded in a dark pool, contributing to total outflows of approximately $2.26 billion from US spot Bitcoin ETFs over two weeks. IBIT alone recorded $192 million in outflows on May 26 and a record $527.84 million net redemption on May 27, reflecting broader institutional moves into traditional assets accompanied by rising US Treasury yields.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees BlackRock facing persistent downside pressure as the price remains below key moving averages. He notes the substantial outflows from the IBIT ETF and recent block trades as evidence of waning institutional confidence. Technical signals are mixed, but intraday sellers still dominate. Broader market shifts into Treasuries further weaken the near-term outlook. "I see risk of further declines unless $1,030 holds — sentiment and momentum both argue for caution here."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, maintains a constructive view despite recent volatility in BlackRock shares. He believes temporary outflows from IBIT reflect shifting institutional strategies rather than a loss of confidence in BlackRock's broader potential. The current price above the key 50-day average signals that the bullish structure remains intact for now. Karapetjanc sees the stock consolidating as a healthy reset before the next upward move. "Short-term pressure creates opportunity — I expect strong recovery once resistance near $1,070 is cleared."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, notes that BlackRock trades in a narrow band near its 50-day average after a sharp drop. He sees momentum and oscillators diverging, which could create tactical opportunities for mean-reversion trades. Mehta highlights that the volatility spike might attract contrarian buyers looking for a rebound off support. "If price stabilizes above $1,030, I would watch for a short-term reversal setup towards resistance."

Oversold signals emerge as momentum diverges near support

BlackRock is trading below its 20-day moving average ($1,070.30) and well under the 200-day ($1,078.56), but remains just above the 50-day average ($1,028.20). This position points to short-term downside pressure, with medium-term structure still intact and long-term trend at risk of turning bearish. The nearest dynamic support sits at the 50-day average ($1,028.20), while resistance is seen at the Ichimoku Kijun level ($1,070.64).

Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD shows strong bullish bias on the daily chart, whereas the Average Directional Index (ADX) suggests trend weakness. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral to mildly bullish at 53, but the Stochastic RSI indicates a sell signal with oversold readings on intraday timeframes. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) reveals sellers dominate intraday momentum, with several timeframes registering as oversold. The stock has dropped sharply today, down 2.29% ($24.50), after opening with a pronounced downside gap of about $16.37. Price action is now near the daily low, with intraday volatility at 1.53%, reflecting persistent selling pressure after the open. Momentum and oscillators are diverging, suggesting the short-term drop is at odds with medium-term bullish undercurrents.

Previously it was reported that BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) experienced a record-breaking dark pool transaction amid sustained outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, highlighting growing caution among institutional investors. The current technical setup for BlackRock shares reflects continued short-term pressure, making the $1,030 support zone a critical level to watch as downside risk persists in the days ahead.
